Mid-Atlantic Primitive Skills Group (MAPS)Why do people practice primitive skills? The primary motivator for many is to be able to connect with Nature again on a deep level, something we’ve lost by being a part of modern civilization. To know that you can go out into the wilderness with no modern tools or crutches and live only on what Nature provides is a very liberating and enlightening experience. It re-teaches us that we all are connected to the Earth in a very intimate way and don’t have to depend on the machinations of the modern world for our sustenance. And this realization can lead us, if we let it, to a deeper spiritual understanding of man’s place in the universe.
